Note
|
He was put on the throne under the regency of his mother by Theodosius II, Roman emperor of the East (401-50). Valentinian was weak; from 433 to 454 his general Flavius Aetius (396?-454) was the actual ruler. During his reign, much of theWestern Empire was ravaged by invaders; Africa was seized (429) by Gaiseric, king of the Vandals, and the Danubian provinces, Gaul, and Italy were overrun (441) by Attila, king of the Huns. Aetius won a great victory over Attila in 451 atChalons-sur-Marne, Gaul. Valentinian killed Aetius in 454 but was murdered the following year by two of the general's supPorters. |
